We need to remove boilerplate: application instructions, legal statements, accommodations, etc. The instruction says: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we must strip out sections about applying online, transcripts, etc. Also remove "DTMB does not participate in STEM-OPT." maybe not boilerplate? It's a statement about program; maybe keep? It's not about job duties. Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to remove statements that are not substantive about role: "DTMB does not participate in STEM-OPT." Might be considered a policy note; but it's not about role. I'd remove it. Also remove "Position Location/Remote Office:"? That's location info, maybe relevant. It's about location and remote/hybrid. Could be considered part of Benefits/Schedule? The posting mentions hybrid work option: two days on-site, three days remote. That's schedule info. Also location Lansing, MI. That could be included maybe under a section like "Location" but we only have headings for specific categories. We could put location under "About the role" or maybe "Benefits"? Not exactly. The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We have sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (design, development, testing, enhancements, participation in projects, all phases of SDLC), Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements?), Skills (knowledge of Azure architecture, .Net Development C# and VB, communication, team-oriented, problem solving), Benefits (in-state remote work options, tuition reduction program, variety of benefits, access to professional development training, excellent vacation and sick time policies, sign-on bonus up to $2,500), Pay (maybe not explicitly stated besides sign-on bonus; no salary range), Schedule (hybrid work option: two days on-site, three days remote per week). Also mention that position is in Lansing, MI; but we could incorporate schedule. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits: yes, they list benefits. Pay: they mention sign-on bonus but not base salary. Is sign-on bonus considered Pay? Possibly could be under Benefits. The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. They do state sign-on bonus, which is a form of pay. But they didn't state salary. Should we create a Pay section? Might be considered too thin if only sign-on bonus. Better to include sign-on bonus under Benefits. So we will not create a Pay section. Schedule: they state hybrid work option: two days on-site, three days remote per week. That's specific schedule info. So we can create a Schedule section. Benefits: they list in-state remote work options (though that's also schedule), tuition reduction program, variety of benefits, access to professional development training, excellent vacation and sick time policies, sign-on bonus up to $2,500. Also mention "competitive work experience". That's vague. We'll include concrete items. Now we need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No job title heading. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we capture all substantive info. Let's extract sections: About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph describing department, mission, passion for IT application development, etc. We'll combine. Responsibilities: design, development, testing, ongoing application enhancements supporting CEPI; participation on application development projects achieving goals/mission; responsibilities in all phases of software development lifecycle related to CEPI systems; also maybe developer specialist and development team lead; help resolve problems; team-oriented mindset; effective communication; establishing relationships; etc. Some of those are more like qualifications/skills. We'll separate. Requirements: Education and experience details (bachelor's degree with credits, etc.) plus alternate paths. Qualifications: Might be similar to requirements; but we can treat Requirements as education/experience, Qualifications as specific knowledge/skills (Azure, .Net, communication, team-oriented, problem solving). However the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section that includes education, experience, knowledge, skills. But we have headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could decide to use only Requirements and Skills, maybe Benefits and Schedule. Let's see. We need to include section only when posting has real specific content. So we can have: - About the role (intro) - Responsibilities (core duties) - Requirements (education/experience) - Skills (technical and soft skills) - Benefits (benefits listed) - Schedule (hybrid work) We'll omit Qualifications as separate. Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now we need to format with

for each section heading, then content as

or

• for lists. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep specifics like numbers of credits, years, etc. Let's draft. About the role: Combine intro paragraphs: "The Department of Technology, Management and Budget supports the business operations of state agencies through a variety of services, including building management and maintenance, information technology, centralized contracting and procurement, budget and financial management, space planning and leasing, construction management, motor vehicle fleet operations, and oversight of the state retirement systems.
